I am trying not to be, but just been so irritated this time round. I know the logical reasons: work hard, am 'lead' parent, been sick then tired plus not been sleeping, am worried about baby, am worried about being happy as bigger family... The list goes on and I take it out on DH. Wish was one of those pg women who cried, but I just carry on ttilll exhausted then hate DH for not stopping it. Don't know solution... Am 31 weeks now, and 39 (so you know, knackered). Need some tactics or one of us is going to be permanently damaged by the experience ...

Sounds like your DH needs to do more. If he stepped in and lightened your load a bit earlier then perhaps you wouldn't be so irritated.

He shouldn't call you a bitch because you're pregnant. He should try being pregnant! Gah!

What can be done to help? DH does more, get a cleaner, go on maternity leave earlier?

Don't be a martyr lionlion: you should not be doing this I just carry on ttilll exhausted then hate DH for not stopping it.. Long before it gets to this point you need to be asking for help. I know in an ideal world Mr New Age Man steps in and lightens the load etc. In reality, some men need a kick up the arse to be asked politely to help. He may not feel happy about stepping in and taking over things you normally do...

Thanks ladies. Reading your replies has made me realise its a combination of my fault for being a martyr and DH's for not showing a bit more initiative. So on that note spent most of yesterday in bed! Feel much less irritated today. Also do wonder if its hormones of pregnancy, I've felt pretty nuts and mood swingy in that irrational, uncontrollable way this time - I just hope I get a big dose of the happy hormones when baby comes to get me through! Thanks again everyone x
